RE: [RC] how big will that baby be? Whats that string measurement? - Rae Callaway
Measure from the soft spot in the middle
of the knee, straight down to where the hair meets the hoof.? This measurement
in inches will be the adult height in hands (give or take an inch).? i.e. 14 ¾ inches
would be 14.3 hands.? If you’re unsure of where to measure, try it out on your
adult horses.? I’ve found it to be pretty accurate. Out of 12 foals, 2 were an
inch over and one was an inch under.? All the rest? topped off exactly what I
measured at 6 months.

I can't remember what that string
measurement system is for measuring to see how tall a youngster will be when
grown up. I know its not 100% accurate, but what the heck, please send it to
me. I have a 2 yr old that I would love to know approx. height he will be.
